"The Looming Tower" by Lawrence Wright

Favorite: Pink Floyd (unfortunately not together any more :sad: ) Most hated: Radiohead

My dad reads a lot. My husband and I fight over books! I have close guy friends that read a lot. I see more men on the train than women reading books. Why would you be embarrassed to read a book?? I would never be able to date someone who wasn't well read...

Greek style lemon chicken rice soup 12 cups no salt added chicken broth (campbell's) 6 skinless Chicken drumsticks frozen (it was what I had available. Can use 3 whole chicken breasts too) 1/2 cup lemon juice 1 cup rice (uncooked) (any rice will do. I used jasmine rice) 10 cloves garlic 1/4 cup Corn flour or any other…

Ok this takes some time but freezes well and makes a big batch! 6 vegetable soup Made this today and it tastes amazing! Its also incredibly filling! 4 cups any colour peppers diced (Dice a cup of it finely and keep aside till the end) 1 cup diced zucchini 2 cups shredded cabbage 1 cup diced Chinese Eggplant (long…

I hate it when I'm in a crowded bus/train and someone in front of me with a big backside wearing skinny jeans bends down to pick something up and exposes their buttcrack to everyone behind them.:noway:

I had the same problem for a bit. I bought the Mio water flavour thing. That stuff is so sweet! 2 squirts of it in a glass full of water and I didn't feel like eating a sweet any more. For some reason it makes me feel like I'm full more than I would be with just water. Won't really work though if your'e trying to…

awesome definition in the thighs! Wish I had 'em too!

I'm a bootcut girl. Skinny jeans look terrible on me. My hips are too wide for them and jut out in the back too much for anything low waisted!

really cute smile!

I've read everywhere that you should do weights before cardio. But on the days that I do both one after the other (can't help it because the gym has classes back to back), I always do cardio first. Once I do any kind of strength training, I feel so depleted of energy, I'm too sore to even walk. After strength training, the…

Cut this last because they turn brown as soon as they're cut.)…

Yes it is ranked 2nd in the world for malnutrition in children, but what does that have to do with anything I said? Malnutrition is from not getting enough of ANY food, vegetarian or otherwise. I spoke about vegetarianism and non-vegetarianism, not malnutrition. Also, there's a difference between vegan and vegetarian.…

There is no "old fecal matter built up on the sides" in your body. The body eliminates waste quite efficiently. Try substituting a whole lot of fruits for one meal. It'll cleanse you enough.

I like the idea of a letter. My mom writes me letters about things she feels uncomfortable discussing in person. That way, she gets things off her chest AND does not have to deal with awkwardness. I like that. Re-reading her emails gives me better insight than just listening to her talk. I write her long emails too when I…

Thank you!

This whole 'making fun of vegetarians' will only stop when there's more of them I think. No one makes fun of vegetarians in India. There are hundreds of thousands of strictly vegetarian restaurants, both high and low end (with menus over 5 pages long) and supermarkets and convenience stores that are completely vegetarian.…

I find that very hard to believe. My whole immediate and extended family of over 200 people is strictly vegetarian. As far as I know, the few relatives that do have mental health issues have it because of deaths in the family, loss of income or some other kind of life circumstance in their 40s and 50s. Having grown up in a…

I tried the Master Cleanse. Did it for 8 days. Something happened to my body afterwards. I put on a massive amount of weight after I finished this "cleanse". right after I finished doing it, I'd lost about 6 pounds but at a huge cost. All I could ever think of was solid food, my tongue went bald, I blew a whole months…

I did it for a month. You burn a ton of calories per hour. But I also injured myself a couple of times. The second time was bad enough to make me stop going to the class altogether. :( It is a lot of fun though.

Jeopardy! I love calling out the answers before the contestants do! I'm weird that way.

No tattoos here either. Can't think of anything I'd want permanently on my skin. I don't like needles either. My ears were pierced when I was a 6 month old baby...

Got surprised with an awesome party, went on a bike ride in the rain on a winding mountain road with some friends, discovered a new place to eat tucked away into the forest, got drunk, rode back, got locked out of my dorm (girls's dorms have night time limits in India), crashed at a friend's apartment, got drunk again and…

I agree! My previous gym had staff that always acted like they were too good for us. Friendliness was only required till we signed on the sheet and gave them our credit cards. Also, this gym was full of beautiful, blonde and skinny/muscled people. I used to go there in my non-branded, non-lycra, non fashionable t-shirt and…

I tried this today. I completely forgot to squeeze the water out of the zucchini. So the tots were a soggy mess that took ages to bake and still didn't come out right. :ohwell:

Why is this overrated? I'd kill to look like this!

Try shopping at a local Chinese supermarket or in Chinatown or a Chinese grocery stores... They are usually very very cheap compared to other grocery stores. The veggies don't last past 3-4 days but it does the job and the variety is usually greater than regular grocery stores. I used to shop at a Chinese supermarket when…
